Bio

2023: Carson-Newman's leading receiver in 2023, Meeks caught 24 passes for 496 yards and six touchdowns. With back-to-back 100-yard receiving days against Newberry and Tusculum, Meeks became the second receiver in school history to register consecutive 100-yard receiving performances. Meeks would finish with five catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns, the first 100-plus yard day for a C-N receiver since Braxton Westfield in the 2022 season finale victory over Catawba and the 71st 100-yard receiving day in Carson-Newman history. His 42-yard score with just over a minute remaining sealed Carson-Newman’s 34-21 win at Newberry, its first in 13 years.  A five-catch, 123-yard, one TD performance followed the next week against Tusculum.
